When you see an ATM machine, what comes to your mind?...

When you think of ATM machines what comes to your mind? Most of us think of a money dispensing machine. Now with that said, please look at these pictures. So many things ran through my mind when I saw this ATM Machine…

First I remember the Food Vending Machines when I was in High School, the sandwiches were stale, soggy and just plain old. Had to have them though because everyone was having them… when the price became what I thought was crazy, I went back to my mother and said “…please make me a sandwich for school…”  She smiled and was probably glad she did not have to give me some of their hard-earned money. Wish I could reminisce with her about those days, but I am digressing…

Anyway, as most of you who read my blog posts know I have written a few posts about Sprinkles Cupcakes. A brilliant concept that brought Cupcakes back into mainstream from those days I have reminisced above. Everyone, well just about everyone loved cupcakes. The flagship store was in Beverly Hills and Tourist would line up just to get a few cupcakes. I admit it I was in those lines at times😊.

Business people who are savvy look at their customer base and reevaluate and revisit their marketing. It was refreshing for me to see that Sprinkles discovered that there was a large market share at the USC Campus (the University of Southern California). Clearly students do not have time or the convenient means to get to Beverly Hills from Downtown Los Angeles. So, what did Sprinkles do? Installed an ATM machine, but not just any ATM machine: A Sprinkles ATM Machine.

I am confident that they figured out not to sell soggy tired cupcakes and it is fresh and replenished on a regular basis. This made me think when was the last time you reevaluated and revisited your own Real Estate Marketing? I constantly do not to make it stale or soggy😊.

Bob Crane  USC campus has some affluent students and friends and family who visit the campus, I thought it was a brilliant move, bring the product to them since they do not have time to go to the Store.... Endre

Hi Endre - That's a really cool idea. I'm not a great cupcake fan, but if Krispy Kreme installed one within a 15 minute radius of my location, that would be big trouble for my waistline.

I watch "Two Broke Girls" and when I first saw this ATM a year or two ago I thought it was made up.  Now I see that it isn't!!

Now that is one innovative company, Endre!  LOVE the idea of stopping in for a cupcake before 'office hours' to get the day started off on the right foot!  And what a novel idea to have them on campuses.

My curiosity would be how do they package them so that when they are dispensed, the icing stays intact...or does it?!
